The key to a shorter Oracle R12 upgrade

The system outage timeline is the first key to a successful upgrade strategy.  Being able to complete the upgrade within the allotted time frame can be accomplished easily if the amount of data needing to be upgraded can be reduced.  The larger your data footprint the more time is required for each stage of the upgrade.

During an upgrade cycle it is quite typical to require additional clones of the production database to be used for test and development.  Dramatic increases in storage can occur as a result.

Test and development is also a milestone area to consider.  Large test and development clones are usually complex and cumbersome to deal with requiring additional cycles to be burned and creating potential delays in meeting project deadlines.

Getting to Oracle R12 faster has just been made easier.

All of the obstacles to a shorter upgrade cycle can be significantly reduced with the use of AutoPilot. AutoPilot is a multi-dimensional data growth management platform that allows for the referentially intact segmentation of database applications.

Using AutoPilot to segment your database along business policy dimensions will shrink the size of your online data by as much as 80%. The result of this segmentation will also reduce the size of your clones, shorten your test and development times and greatly reduce the time it takes to run Auto Upgrade and Auto Patch. This will translate into a reduced system outage, increased probability of success in the upgrade process and achieving significant hard dollar savings.
